Scintilla

Dr. Amal Kumar Ghosh

Hey, sometimes it rises
Sometimes it floats
Once again in awhile
comes up the scintilla over the spread
where ripples the pristine light,
The word of epiphany falls short when
brings forth the felicity the Lilith
of the sprightly glow.

Knows no boundary my wanderlust
to the world of aphonic lyrics,
Sometimes paradox sets forth
if the right I see,
As there finds no beholder
apart from me.
